Rhythm and Booms

We had an awesome experience on Saturday, July 3 as we joined our friends, Tammy and Roger and family at their military gathering at Truax field. They got approval for "civilians" to come and join them. It was a HUGE honor to be invited and participate in this gathering. The kids played games, we ate great food, the kids did relay races, and got an animal backpack with matchbox cars and other toys. We were up close and personal with the F-16s as they taxiied down the runway to take off to start the Rhythm and Booms fireworks display. The kids (and Justin and I) were in awe being that close. As the sky grew darker and the fireworks display started, we had great seats on the lawn at the military base. There are no other words to describe this except by saying that we feel honored and blessed to have been asked to join them for this event.

Below are a few pictures from our day...

Thank you for serving our country and keeping us safe
